Lenore Emery (May 20, 1926 – March 11, 2021) was an American visual artist based in New Orleans. She is primarily known for her large-scale wind-powered kinetic sculpture and public artworks that are inspired by the forces of nature. Since 1972, all of her art has been kinetic and activated by water, magnets, motors, and wind. In 1956, she was a charter member of the Orleans Gallery, located at 527 Royal Street, which was the city's first collective artist-run and operated contemporary art space.
